Fwd: Java/PHP job at TomTom in Amsterdam?

[Owen Densmore]

I wouldn't normally forward this to FRIAM, but Don Hopkins is  
officially a Hero Of The Revolution and a Man To Be Trusted.  He  
worked closely with me at Sun Microsystems on the NeWS window  
system .. a very innovative PostScript language based window system  
for Unix.

His career is delightful, including the open source effort for Sim  
City.  He is the inventor of Pie Menus.  And definitely an all-round  
genius any of us would enjoy working with.

So any of our Euro FRIAM folks may want to consider this.

Sorry if this is too OT.
